Alpha Double Feature.......2007-03-07

The main attraction on this Alpha double feature is the tv pilot Tales of Frankenstein. A 25 minute episode filmed for television, it is a really condensed horror movie. Don't expect too much for the time allotted. It is a fun watch and it would have been neat to see what the show could have done if it was picked up and more episodes were filmed. Pretty good quality for this feature. The price is right since you get The Terror as a bonus!

Not every good.......2007-01-28

I thought TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN was a not a very good movie. The storyline is not very exciting. The actor of Frankenstein's monster is bad. Dr. Frankenstein himself is a boring one, compared to Colin Clive or Peter Cushing. I thought the make-up for the monster was good but he did not seen as human as Boris Karloff. I did not like the music or the introduction which has clips from other movies like Murders in the Rue Morgue, Dracula and The Raven. I would much rather watch the original Frankenstein or another Horror film.

i found a diffrent copy.......2006-09-12

Alpha video has it as a double feature but its only 25 min long with the terror.

Could be better, but still a must-have for Hammer fans.......2001-07-27

Yeah, the DVD isn't top-drawer, to be sure. But let's not forget the focus of this whole thing: the "lost" t.v. pilot TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN. The video quality is good, the sound is O.K. Personally, I enjoyed getting to see the show after reading about it for years. It would have made an interesting anthology-type series. The trailers are fun, but not from the best sources in many cases. For die-hard Hammer fans or Frankenstein enthusiasts, the disc's deficits are acceptable.

Hits and misses.......2001-07-26

It is nice that this release has a few treasures to offset what is more or less a messy presentation. The treasures are: a couple of nice bloopers featuring A&C and Lugosi, The complete pilot for Tales of Frankenstein, and some interview footage that I've seen around before( they cut most of this footage short at very odd places- who made this decision and why?). There are a whole bunch of trailers-the b/w ones are almost always dupy and/or re-issues. A few are enjoyable. The infamous Lon Chaney jr. episode of Tales of Tommorrow is here in a condensed version- sad and interesting.
